Free Republic discusses a couple of quick configuration changes that can help speed up Firefox, the Open Source Internet Explorer/Safari alternative. The tips are suggested for broadband users only, since the modify how many simultaneous requests the browser makes on opening pages and other configuration issues that assume a high-speed connection. I didn't do any empirical testing before applying the config changes, but the browser seems faster. Could be just wishful thinking.
Note: If you're using a Mac one-button mouse or trackpad, substitute [ctrl+click] for "right click" in the instructions.
